New Mercedes Benz C-Class is looking every bit like a miniature S-Class and in this guise sporting the smallest engine in the range, a 1598 cc 4 cylinder diesel.
This C-Class is Mercedes bread and butter, it’s their money maker, their mid range saloon built to go up against the likes of the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4. And fitted with this engine it’s most likely to be the model that will attract company car buyers and frugal thinkers alike, thanks to a CO2 figure of just 106g per km and a combined MPG of 72.4.
The business of passing you might think is challenging given this cars small displacement but this turbo charged engine is a bit of a wonder. Yes 0-62mph takes a leisurely 9.7 seconds but that’s a harsh criticism because the in gear punch delivered by 136hp and more importantly 320Nm of torque from 1500rpm makes up for any slow getaway from the lights.

Powerful and efficient petrol and diesel engines, all equipped with the ECO start/stop function and complying with the Euro 6 emissions standard, provide for lively performance and great driving enjoyment. They also cut fuel consumption by up to 20 percent compared with the preceding model.
Soon after the market launch, Mercedes-Benz is already set to expand the range of engines substantially. A new small diesel engine with a displacement of 1.6 litres is to be added. Reduced weight, compact design and low specific fuel consumption are among its special merits.
Depending on its configuration, the single-stage supercharged four-cylinder engine generates 85 or 100 kW (115 or 136 hp) of power from a cubic capacity of 1598 cc and delivers 280 or 320 Nm of torque.
